Were you ever scared of Ghosts when you were a kid?

Hi ebook-Freak! Since you also belong to the same part of the world I do,it will be rather easier for me to explain to you the incident I was met with. Well, we have been hearing much about ghosts in our part of the world and many stories were attributed to the fact (they may be wrong either) that since many people don't bury the deadbody and they burn them rather and that's why they turn out to be ghosts, Charail (she ghosts), Chhalawa, or Bhootna (as we call them in our local language - and you may be able to understand these words). Well! coming to the actual story. There was a big tree called Wan tree in our local language situated about 400 meters away towards the East of our village. I was about fifteen years of age that time. People of all ages mostly males used to come to rest under that big tree bringing their cots to sleep/rest there. At about noon time when I was sleeping and incidentally there was no else except me. I was sleeping. Suddenly I felt that somebody was pressing my belly. And simultaneously I heard a whispering voice in my years saying, "You must always come here at 12 noon". I opened my eyes and looked at up watch to see that it was exactly 12 0' clock. I got very much sscared, pulled up my cot and fled to my home. I was so much scared that I didn't describe that story to anyone. And I didn't dare to go there alone.

i was too. i don't like the dark because i'm afraid that something might come out of the dark and get me or hurt me. i think this is because of what some people like to do to children in order to get them to behave or to obey them. if they don't want you to go to a place or to touch anything, they use "ghost" to scare you and stop you from doing those. and i think scary movies with ghost in them are also some of the major contributors.

When I was young, my mom always used ghost to scare me. She told me that some ghost thing might find me if I didn't behave! A good conscience is a soft pillow. Haha, I am not afraid of ghost most of the time!

yes i could remember not being able to go to the kitchen alone because i am scared of the dark and being alone! but i have not have any ghost experience

yes i was... there are many ghosts and monsters here when i was a little kid, that was what i was led to believe. i get easily scared, i dont like walking in the dark, but there are times i have to when i am asked to go buy something at the store. we have here what we call "manananggal" it's like a vampire, the difference is that it's a woman and half body only, they would leave their lower half body somewhere, where no one will see it, in the forest.. .then their upper half body will fly looking for victims, their wings are like that of bats... and there are really people in my hometown that says it is true, they saw one... ghosts/spirits are just as well known here, and its scary, everytime i go outside when its dark doing errands, i would run as fast as i can, the hair on the back of my nape i know are standing, because i can feel it, somebody or something is behind me. my aunts and uncles are no help, because they love to tell scary stories and they make it sound like it is so real...

You know, come to think of it, I don't think I really did. My brother used to freak me out by telling me stories about murderers in the area, but I've always been ok with ghosts. Now dinosaurs on the other hand...oh my. I watched Jurassic Park for the first time when I was 5 and I had terrible nightmares that dinosaurs were going to come back and take over Earth...lol. But my family is very into the paranormal, so I grew up believing in ghosts and things so they never really scared me at all.

a little bit i guess... but not too much... my parents never tell me a ghost story nor scare me with a ghost thing... in fact, they always encourage me to be a brave child... so i grow up never scared of ghost, dark or anything like that... i had been trained since young by my parents to be brave and i have God always with me... so what should i be scared about? :-) take care and have a nice day...

I was being told abour a man with a 'single head'and I used to be afraid about him Only later I understood all of us have only a 'single head'

just be grateful that I was not your cousin!

I was scared of ghosts as a kid, I think all my cousins and I were. We use to scare each other and then have to sleep with our parents because of it. I sometimes still get a little scared today even. Especially if I just watched a horror movie and I'm home alone. I freak myself out thinking that I heard something in the basement. So silly but it's kind of fun too.

Yeah,I was even thinking I can see things normal people dont.Nobody really scared me,its actually the house we lived.My grandpa owns it and it has many history of scary events and encounters.Some stories are from my dad while others are from my grandparents.They tell scary stories and experiences and all of it were stuck in my head.Everytime they left me at home alone I would immediately feel goosebumps..

I don't remember being afraid of ghosts, but of monsters yes!! I was literally scared. I used to imagine so many things coming out of the shadows that it was so creepy. Sometimes, when the window was open and the curtain moved, I used to try to check by looking from under my covers, in the hope that nobody sees me. That curtain moving would also be reflected on the wardrobe that faced my bed and thus, there was a shadow moving there... wow what terrible memories.

I think we all have been scared when we were kids, in fact Im 21yrs old lol and when I see a scary movie at night I cant sleep or If I close my eyes I would see scary things I know it may seem like Im a scary cat but its just my imagination that likes to play with me ;) One time I was really bored and I wanted to go to the movies with my family since my bf was working but they didnt wanted to go see that movie since it looked really scary(sorry cant remember the name) well I ended up going by myself so when the movie ended I walk to my car and I got home, well that night I couldnt fall asleep, when I turned off the lights I could swear I saw that demon on top of me, so I ran to my brothers room and try to squeeze on his bed but I couldn't , I had to go back to my room, well to make u a short story I ended up falling asleep with all the lighs on, that was a really scary night

Yeah. I really scared of ghost when i was a kid. With all the ghost that is part of my culture, of coz I'm scared. But as i grew up the feeling starts to fade but i do sometimes feel scared especially when I'm alone (x_x)

Hello friend. When I was a kid, I used to listen to a lot of ghost stories and I love them though I was very scared after hearing them. Each time when adults started to tell ghost or scary stories, I always sat among them in the middle. After the story, I did not dare to move and always walked in the middle of them as well from the first floor to the second floor. I was also afraid to walk in the dark because it easily reminded me of ghost stories ever heard. Thinking of those days, it is really funny though.

I was scared of ghost when i was young too and my parents keep making it as if that when i do something wrong or bad the ghost will come after me and hence i have to behave. That kept me from being a bad boy until i realize that ghost do exist but they are also a being that dont disturb us if we dont disturb them. Ghost can be friendly too...casper for example...

yes when i was a kid i am so scared of ghost as my mom tell us not to go out the house after dark as there are ghost outside. its kind a scaring way to keep us inside the house. my siblings are so scared so we cover our self with the blanket and hide our self. were so scared and nervous. happy posting!!!

yes,i was scared of Ghosts story when i was a kid.but i also wanted my parents told my ghosts story or i watched horro movies before.it was excicted but also scared experience.

well i was not that much afraid of ghost...but ya i remember in d complete darkness wen i was small i used to sleep with my bro..when i have to sleep alone in the darkness...i felt quite uncomfortable..and i feel like there is someone unwanted in my room..on every single voice..on every single foot step i thought that might be its some soul n all that.. i used to remember my GOD..

I know that as a kid when I was younger I was not afraid of ghosts but I was really scared of the dark that someone would be there or that I can't see in the dark and that something frightening might happen and I would have to always have the light on.
